Abstract excerpt
Mutations in genes encoding components of the sarcomere cause cardiomyopathy, which is often associated with abnormal Ca2+ sensitivity of muscle contraction. We have previously shown that a heart-specific myosin light chain phosphatase small subunit (hHS-M21) increases the Ca2+ sensitivity of muscle contraction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the function of hHS-M21 in vivo and the causative role...
